Christy, Clint's girlfriend, brought stuff for the girls to make snowmen. They decided to make them this morning. Here they are working on them. They had a lot of fun making them with their dad!

Rice Krispie Treats

Dave LOVES Rice Krispie treats. So, the girls and I made him some for his birthday. The girls thought they were so good that we needed to make some for us this morning. Here is Lily helping me. She really enjoys helping me cook. This is her usual spot whenever it's time to makes something. Here she is licking the spoon and getting marshmallow all over her face and in her hair.

The Christmas Blizzard of '09

The snow drifted up to our door.

We had a HUGE Christmas blizzard this year. It started snowing on Christmas Eve day and just stopped this morning. The wind blew really hard and the snow drifted so bad it was hard to keep the driveway, roads and sidewalks clear. We have had to drive Kent's truck to go anywhere the past few days.

Some of their other gifts ...

Lily and some of her dress-up costume

Abbey and Gracie have been playing their DS's since they got them after summer school. So, they asked Santa to bring them some DS games. They each got one of the DS games they have been wanting. Lily LOVES to dress-up. She plays dress-up more often than Abbey and Gracie ever did. So, Santa brought her a dress-up outfit complete with wings, skirt, leotard, gloves, shoes and a hair piece. She wore it most of the day! The girls wanted clothes this year. (The first year they have actually WANTED clothes for Christmas). So, Santa brought them some clothes. They each got the Zhu-Zhu pet they have been asking for and, of course, their American Girl dolls. The girls have had a wonderful Christmas so far and we're not even done with all of our dinners. We haven't gotten to visit the Smiths and Connie's family due to the weather. We went to Mom's house where Abbey read the Christmas story from the bible to the family. What a blessing! She is such a good reader and it was a great way to celebrate Christmas before opening gifts!
